Familysearch.org has a lot of Italian records online, these are the FHC films cleaned up and put online. They add more from time to time. They are not indexed for easy searching, you have to go through the film, but many times individual books have indices in front. I found it easy to find people. If you know the region and town and the approximate date, look and see what they have. The records are generally civil records, on a printed form that was then filled in with the information. Not so hard to read once you get the format. My understanding is that the law required civil registration of all births, marriages, and deaths (Thanks to Napoleon), so these records are a good source.
If you are totally new to Familysearch.org, click on Search. To the right or at the bottom there is a map of the world, click on Europe and a list of countries will appear. Choose Italy and it will give you a list of Italian records to Browse.

I Think the records were government records not the church records. I would think most all the Italian records have been filmed. There are a number of them at the local FHC. I would carefully look at the catalog for them. Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, NH From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of "E" Sharp Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 10:24 PM To: azores Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] From Italy to Portugal - Death Record Info ​Anyone familiar with Italian records? My 4th great grandfather's first wife is listed as deceased on his Portugal second marriage record (I am descended from this marriage). I am trying to find this first wife's marriage and death records to try and find out if he had any children with her. She is listed as dying in Trieste on the second marriage record. Someone gave me this FHC info: <https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=118160&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Italy%2C%20Trieste%2C%20Trieste%22> https://familysearch.org/search/catalog ... Trieste%22 I went there but I cannot seem to find Catholic Church records there. Am I missing something? I am taking an educated guess they also married in Trieste and would like to look at these records also. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
